If you're finding yourself overwhelmed by constant crying, constant nursing, and never having your own space, then this episode is for you! 

Motherhood brings countless joys, but it can also introduce an intense level of physical contact that might leave you feeling drained or even claustrophobic. Whether it's the endless holding, the non-stop nursing, or just the need to have a moment to yourself, sensory overload is valid and manageable.
